Peel Place

Planning Granted

A key development in the South Kilburn masterplan, Peel Place delivers 308 homes (40% affordable), a new health centre, retail, gym & creative hub, all surrounding a new public square

A key part of the South Kilburn masterplan in Brent, Peel Place delivers a mix of 308 new homes, health centre, retail, gym and creative hub, all surrounding a new public square. Peel is a transformational scheme that creates a new urban character, setting a precedent for design quality in future phases of South Kilburn’s regeneration.

The design is the redevelopment of a council-owned site, with each block orientated to draw people towards a new market square and inspire a sense of community.

Peel Place is central to the regeneration of South Kilburn and the creation of a Civic Heart for the community. Regeneration is a much-used term but this scheme represents a genuine step of change for the neighbourhood due to the provision of mixed-tenure housing, alongside a new health centre, affordable workspace, cafe and public space.

The entire scheme is designed around the concept of health and wellbeing; a theme visible via the architecture, choice of complementary uses and management strategy. This ensures Peel Place is a catalyst for physical and social regeneration. The project further raises the ecological and biodiversity credentials of the site.

This project is featured alongside our Public London: Activating the City insight study. The publication, exhibition and online project directory explore what constitutes a successful and democratic public realm today, the role of co‑creation and partnerships, and how we can ensure that places are fit‑for‑purpose in the long term.
